We had roasted chicken breasts marinated in black cherry balsamic vinegar & Italian dressing, a rice pilaf blend mixed with some steamed spinach.

Leftover spaghetti is ALWAYS better the next day or two.

 

[GWguy]

chicken cacciatore?

Response 1) No, chicken Catch a Whig.
Response 2) Kinda, but not quite.

 

[GWguy]

Answer was 'kinda'. Not official cacciatore, just a can of diced 'maters in the pan with a couple of thighs, then poured over sketti.

And glad you caught the Whig thing.

 

[mitzi]

That sounds delicious.

Cheerios?

 

[PrchJrkr]

Steak, salad, and crusty rolls. I've got to quit eating so late.

We're spending the night in Kingsville, TX on our way to New Braunfels and they roll up the town on Sunday. We had super good burgers at (ack) Chili's.

We did the corned beef, cabbage thing yesterday, put it in the crock pot along with baby redskin potatoes and carrots. Leftovers tonight.

Last nights dinner was Kielbasa and Sauerkraut.

The other commuters on the bus were not fans.

That can be done in a crock pot??????? I know how to operate a crock pot. Does that mean I could probably do that?

I dont see why not! My method is to put carrots and quartered redskin potatoes in first, use about 2.5 cups of water to cover those and add 1 cup of AC vinegar. Add the corned beef in next, fat side up, add 1 bottle of Stout beer, sprinkle in pickling seasoning, cook on low about 8 hours. One hour before turning off the crock pot, add the chopped cabbage to it. Thats all there is to it. Comes out tender and flavorful and the best part...the leftovers the next day are even better!!

That's pretty much how I do it too, but no carrots, vinegar or beer. And I wait a bit to put the potatoes in or they get too mushy for me.

Thats why I keep it on low, the potatoes come out soft, but not mushy. The stout adds a nice flavor.

What is pickling spice? I should know that shouldn't I?

You can find it at the store in spice aisle. McCormick makes it and when you buy the corned beef, it comes with a packet of it. I just like to add a little more.

Most of the time. I got a Boar's Head this year, doesn't appear to have a packet. But I have pickling spice in the cabinet.
